FRIENDS OF COLNBROOK

Friends of Colnbrook raise funds by holding various events throughout the year to enhance the resources and education of the pupils of Colnbrook School, which is a Special School for primary aged children with moderate and severe learning difficulties.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
There is only 1 trustee

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Spending is declining
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
